CLTs/APIs in 6.7.1 - Listing Editors for a Workarea

nandersbbt

Hello,

Thought I would pose this question to you all to find out if there's something I'm missing. In short, I'm trying to accomplish the following:

In 6.7.1, given a specific vpath (workarea), generate a list of all of the users whom have Editor/Content-Approval rights for the workarea. The list will be presented to Authors, to allow them to choose which Editor to review/approve their work.

In our current 6.5 environment, we accomplish this by taking the vpath and then look at the folder/group permissions (at the NT/OS level) via the Win32-NetAdmin Perl Module, and generate a list of users from the group that match in the editor role file.

With the changes in how in 6.7.1 handles permissions and access to workareas, querying the OS-level folder permissions no longer seems viable.

Does anyone know of a specific API call-out or set of CLTs that will:

1) Take in a specified vpath/workarea2) Generate list of groups or users for the workarea3) And/or Filter out those of a specified role or permission-set (content approvers)

Thoughts?

There might be a better way - but off the top of my head ... iwaccess export-permission-entries file and then parse the file which is in XML format like:[html]















...
[/html]I'm not positive about the user-entry clause, the one example output I have handy only has group and owner data, but I believe there would be something like that in there...
